[There's the quiet scrape of something familiar, a soft sound, dull. Consistent if not exactly repetitive. Anyone familiar with bars may recognize it as glass on wood. Anyone very familiar might even pick up on the stick that says the drinker's been in his seat for some time.]

No box to blame this one on, I guess.

[There's another scrape of glass on wood before the video feed turns on. Sully finishes the drink and sets it down on the bar.] Nate, Elena. Been gone four days now.

[That gets Sully's attention and he turns eyes to Cash.] What board?

[griftering]

There's a board outside Hecate's place. Lists the people who aren't around anymore.

... shit.

[Sully rubs his forehead.] No, Cash, I haven't. [But there's a part of him-- the same part that now has hope that they won't be there for whatever reson... that part of his don't think it can take seeing them there.]

[Sully considers-- and then shakes his head.] No, thanks. I should do it myself. [Tomorrow. Hungover? It would serve him right.]

I hope they're there. It's better than the alternative. [A beat.] If they're not, call me.

[Sully's attention turns from the beer to Cash, his brows drawn together.] What's the alternative?

[griftering]

[A short pause.] You don't wanna know.

Re: Video;

[fortune_favored]

[Now a frown joins the drawn brows.] Like hell I don't.

Well, there's the option of them being kidnapped and tortured. Always fun.

Goddamnit, Cash. [Just for a moment, Sully taps a closed fist against his forehead.] I know, I know. I asked.

So, why're you still hangin' around? Go look for Christsakes.

[Sully shoots a look at Cash-- it's tight, worried, far more showing than he'd ever admit aloud to-- and then stands as he reaches out to close the line.]
